Currently using version 2.6.3. I'm trying to send photos directly from my photo editing program (Arcsoft PhotoImpression 4 - which came with my digital camera) to email messages. There is no action of any sort when I attempt this. I've gone to the help section of the software where I've dug up this, which follows in part:

"Some email programs do not support MAPI (like older AOL versions) and some that support it may not be set as the MAPI server. If your email program does not automatically open, consult its documentation or technical support for information on MAPI support."

I confess I have no idea what MAPI is or does, nor can I locate reference to it in the setup options....... but seems a likely place to start....can someone enlighten me and point me in the right direction?

I always hate it when "I can't do that" and as a result I tend to look for workarounds that give me something instead of nothing. In that spirit, here's a little script that does "something" that might be of interest.

The script assumes that you save JPG files in an "export" directory somewhere. In this case, it's "E:\Test" but if you use the script you can edit it to be anywhere.

In the graphics program, you save the files you want to email to the export directory. Then, you run the script in Poco, which traverses the export directory, and creates an email for each file it finds, with the attachment already filled in.

Here's the script -- which I post into the public domain. I can say it works on my system, but that's the only guarantee I'm willing to make

Another thing that may work is to right click on the file you want to attach (in Windows Explorer) and select "Send to| PocoMail". This will launch Poco (if it isn't already running) and start a compose window with the file attached.
